Delaware INBRE Summer Scholars Program 2020

Please note, summer scholar selections are continuing as planned with the assumption that the INBRE summer scholars program will run during the Summer of 2020.  However, as the situation with the pandemic is now fluid, it is possible that we will need to significantly change the program scope, limit which scholars are able to participate based on the details of their research project/its suitability to remote work,  or even cancel the Summer program altogether as the start date approaches.    As the Governor of Delaware has extended the state of emergency, which seeks to limit interpersonal interactions and disease spread, until May 15th, we anticipate making our final decision about whether the program (or individual undergraduate research projects) will run this summer no later than May 18th, 2020
